Tennis: Cape Dory (New Album) “This one’s called ‘Marathon.’ It’s about the first time we ever sailed at night, and it’s exactly like being in outer space, and it’s really scary. And when I was doing it I was like, the only reason why this is worth it is ‘cause I can tell a really cool story afterwards. So this is the story.” This was how Tennis, the husband-and-wife duo from Denver, Colo., recently introduced “Marathon,” one of the standout tracks on the band’s first full-length, Cape Dory.

Despite their band name (picked ostensibly because Yacht was already taken), Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore have crafted 10 wonderful pop songs that make me feel as if I am sailing around with the Crystals in their prime. Cape Dory is a concept album that manages to transcend its concept. Every song is about the eight-month sailing trip that Riley and Moore took, but the songs manage to expertly navigate the tricky waters of romantic navel-gazing. The album ebbs and flows with precision. Review by Wolcott Katzenbach.
